(SU) for transmitting over an extensive
range of frequency bands: 3.3 to 3.8 GHz
and 4.8 to 6 GHz bands.
The system is suitable for deployment in
FCC, IC and ETSI-regulated countries.
Airmux-5000
High Capacity Point-to-Multipoint Wireless System
High spectrum efficiency results in
additional network revenue, reduced
spectrum license fees and increased
flexibility in frequency planning.
Airmux-5000 is the ideal wireless system
for business access users demanding high-
capacity throughput and Ethernet SLA
assurance.
The Airmux product line is part of RADs MARKET SEGMENTS AND TYPICAL
Axcess+ portfolio for Multiservice Access APPLICATIONS
Platform and First Mile solutions. The The most common wireless applications
portfolio combines extensive support for are described below:
legacy services with future-proof Ethernet
capabilities, to address the challenges
faced by utilities, transportation networks,
carriers, and mobile operators, in migrating
to next-generation networks and services
with flexibility, efficiency and carrier-class
reliability.

Security and Surveillance
Aggregation and backhaul of traffic from
multiple collocated megapixel video
cameras, make Airmux-5000 suitable for
homeland security applications, municipal
safe city projects, and border control
installations.
PHYSICAL CONFIGURATIONS
Airmux multiplexers consist of a mast- or
wall-mountable High-Capacity Base
Station (HBS), operating at multiple
frequencies of 5.x GHz, and PoE devices.
Each HBS supports up to 16 remote High-
Capacity Subscriber Units (HSUs) with
aggregated throughputs of 10, 20 and
50 Mbps.
SUPERIOR SPECTRAL EFFICIENCY
Built on advanced MIMO and OFDM
technologies, the Airmux-5000 system
provides a high-capacity link at channel
bandwidth of 10, 20, or 40 MHz. This
guarantees a robust air interface able to
withstand strong RF interference and
harsh ambient conditions.
SECURITY
Data transmitted over the air interface is
encrypted using Advanced Encryption
System (AES) with a 128-bit encryption
key.
AIR LINK QUALITY OF SERVICE
When the link quality is low, Airmux-5000
automatically searches for a clear channel
within a pre-selected list of frequencies.
SHORT TIME-TO-SERVICE
Because Airmux-5000 operates at
license-exempt frequencies, it can be
deployed in record time, eliminating the
costs and delays involved in leasing lines
or trenching fiber.

Hub Site Synchronization (HSS) enables
collocating multiple radios by reducing the
interference that normally occurs when
several radios transmit and receive in
close proximity to one another. HSS
